    I'm really struggling at the moment. My anxiety is through the roof and I think I'm suffering with a touch of depression too :( Everything is overwhelming me and I can't see to catch up with anything.

    Little miss has been ill this week, which has meant I've not been in work most of the week just after having taken a week off. That really stresses me out, especially as it's a really busy time at the moment. I'm not being as productive at work as well which is another stress. They suggested to me that I do a kind of secondment to another office and department. I think in normal times it would be really useful and I would be keen, but I wouldn't be able to cope with it at the moment, so I'm going to turn it down. I think I'm just pushing myself to the top of the redundancy list when it next happens :( I'm just trying to get through the day at the moment without anything else.

    I've now got little miss's lurgy which probably isn't helping matters. We've got little jwil's birthday and party next week which we need to sort out too,

    I'll soon be able to do my new SOA and budget for the next year. Nursery is going to go up £50 a month :cry:, Council tax I think is up about £10 a month :( just waiting for that bill. Water is actually down about £3 a month, but it's still crazy high.

    Nursery will go down in December when little miss is 3, and then she'll get her free hours I think from January, so it should be relatively short term pain. I will have this tax credits overpayment to tackle at some point next year too though, but will wait for them to tell me what it is and when they want it back. I don't think DH's earned as much as I estimated so hoping it might reduce a bit.
